The legendary nameplate abandons combustion entirely, debuting a full-electric successor at Goodwood that redefines what a sub-million hypercar can be.
Alpine unveiled its all-electric A110 successor at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking a watershed moment for the storied French performance brand. The new machine sits on a purpose-built EV platform, shedding the turbocharged petrol heritage that defined the original A110’s cult status since 2017.
For nearly a decade, Alpine’s A110 occupied a peculiar niche: a lightweight, driver-focused coupe that cost roughly half what rivals charged. It was analog in an increasingly digital world, engaging in ways that most modern sports cars weren’t. The switch to full electrification represents an existential reset. Alpine isn’t hedging with a hybrid; it’s committing entirely to battery propulsion, betting that torque delivery, weight distribution, and precision engineering can satisfy the same appetite the gas version did.
The timing lands squarely in the performance-EV reckoning now unfolding across Europe. Porsche has Taycan. Lotus pushes Eletre GT credentials. Even Jaguar is walking away from combustion. Alpine’s move signals that electrification isn’t optional anymore, even for brands that built their reputation on analog thrills. The new A110 will need to prove that an electric drivetrain can deliver the visceral, connected experience purists have long defended as gasoline’s final argument.
Details on output, weight, and pricing remain sparse. What’s clear: Alpine has chosen to evolve rather than archive its name, wagering that the next generation of sports car enthusiasts will find speed and responsiveness in a battery pack instead of a six-cylinder.
